Unexpected circumstances. It all came down to that. If Rose hadn't bought a dog, it wouldn't have ate his ice cream and if she had told him about having a dog in the first place then he wouldn't have done something wrong.

"Poppy ate it!" she flinched expecting a high pitched 'What?' or to have him collapse with shock.

Instead she was greeted with a confused face followed by, "Who the hell is Poppy?"

Rose couldn't believe he hadn't noticed she had bought a dog. Well, sure Poppy had ate his ice cream...and peed on his jacket, something he had yet to find out about. How did he not notice a poodle alien dog around? That reminded Rose that Poppy needed feeding, he must still be asleep in the console room. "The dog I got on Quzar."

He raised his eyebrows. "That white thing that was on the captains chair?" Rose nodded her head. The Doctor's eyes widened. "Uh oh..."

"What?"

He scratched the back of his head. "I kind of thought he was a cloth and used him to clean the Tardis mechanics and it kind of fell and got electrocuted. That explains why I heard a Yelp and why I got a bitten and why a cloth got an electric shock. I did wonder how that happened? Now I know..."

Rose felt tears well up in her eyes. She couldn't believe it. "You killed my dog?"

"I'm sorry..." The Doctor bit his lip. He wasn't sure how to act in this situation. Should he try to comfort her or should he stay here? He did kill her dog so maybe comforting wasn't the best option but then again she might think he didn't care if he stood there like an idiot. He decided to go over and hug her but she walked out of the room before he could do anything.

He sighed, "This might not have happened if he hadn't ate my banana triple chocolate mocha latté stralitex sprinkolitic triple twisted marmalade sugar mounted cherry topped cream pudding whip split with extra sprinkles. Guess I'll never know?" he mumbled to himself. "Now I have to go back to Quzar. Those ice creams cost loads." He shook his head. "Focus! Get new dog for Rose. Need to cheer her up...although I am hungry. I wonder if they have cooked dog? It did smell good..."
